Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia bring their dance moves to The Vvaans Thummak Thummak; song out now

Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah are set to showcase a different side of their pairing with The Vvaans new song, Thummak Thummak. After offering glimpses of the track in the films trailer, the makers have now released the full dance number, which brings the two actors together in an upbeat setting. While The Vvaan has introduced Sidharth and Tamannaahs characters against a backdrop of romance, mystery and supernatural elements, Thummak Thummak shifts the focus to music and dance. The track features the actors in a more relaxed setting as they perform to its energetic beats. The song also adds a different mood to the film, which is rooted in folklore and fantasy. With its colourful visuals and dance-oriented presentation, Thummak Thummak gives Sidharth and Tamannaah an opportunity to explore their on-screen pairing beyond the films central mystery. The Vvaan revolves around a world shaped by folklore, ancient beliefs and supernatural forces, with a forbidden forest forming an important part of its narrative. The new song adds a lighter and more celebratory element to that world. Released under the Zee Music label, Thummak Thummak has been composed and produced by Tanishk Bagchi, with vocals by Dev Negi and Akasa Singh. The lyrics have been penned by Shabbir Ahmed and Tanishk Bagchi, while Bosco Martis has choreographed the song. Additional programming has been done by Ankush, with additional percussion by Krishna Kishor. The Vvaan brings together TVFs Arunabh Kumar, director Deepak Mishra and Ektaa Kapoor for a commercial film based on Indian folklore. The film combines elements of adventure, mystery and humour as it explores its fantasy-driven world. The larger universe of the film has also been expanded through The Legend of Vvaan comic book. Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with TVF and 11.11 Production, The Vvaan stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah. The film is written by Arunabh Kumar and directed by Deepak Mishra, with Manu Anand serving as DOP and Visual Director. It is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar and Niraj Kothari. The Vvaan is scheduled to release in cinemas on September 25, 2026. The film combines folklore, fantasy, adventure and mystery, with music forming another part of its cinematic world.

Manjhi slams Rajan Singh's remarks on Chirag Paswan, demands action

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 21 (IANS) Former Bihar Chief Minister and Union MSME Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has strongly condemned remarks made by Rajan Singh, a member of the Bihar State Transgender Welfare Board, against Union Food Processing Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan, and demanded action against him. The controversy erupted after a video of Rajan Singh went viral on social media, in which he made an unsubstantiated claim regarding Paswans gender identity and urged him to publicly acknowledge what Singh described as an association with the transgender community. Rajan Singh also alleged that members of the transgender community lacked adequate political representation and claimed that some individuals concealed their identities. He further asserted, without providing any evidence, that Paswan belonged to the community. Singh went on to say that if Paswan were to publicly identify himself as transgender, members of the community would rally behind him and support his candidature for the post of Chief Minister. Reacting sharply to the remarks, Manjhi termed the comments baseless and inappropriate. He said making indecent remarks about a Union Minister and attempting to label him based on unsupported claims was unacceptable. Manjhi said that making indecent remarks about a Union Minister and attempting to label him on the basis of an unsupported claim was completely inappropriate. He demanded that the Samrat Choudhary government take action against the person responsible for the remarks concerning Chirag Paswan. The controversy comes amid heightened political activity in Bihar, with leaders of different parties frequently making statements targeting one another ahead of key political developments in the state. The video and the remarks attributed to Singh have since generated discussion on social media, while the claim regarding Paswans gender identity remains unsubstantiated. No official statement from Chirag Paswan's party, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), has come yet.

BJPs Awadhesh Narayan Singh resigns as Bihar Legislative Council chairman, JD(U) may get key post

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 21 (IANS) Bihar Legislative Council Chairman Awadhesh Narayan Singh has resigned from his post, triggering fresh speculation over the distribution of key constitutional positions within the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the state. With the BJP leader stepping down, the Legislative Council Chairman's post is now expected to go to the Janata Dal (United), according to reports. The name of incumbent Deputy Chairman Prof. Dr Ramvachan Rai has emerged as the leading contender for the position. The development comes amid discussions over a fresh power-sharing arrangement between the BJP and JD(U) following the formation of the new government in Bihar. The BJP currently holds the Chief Minister's post and the Speaker's position in the Legislative Assembly, while it has also held the Legislative Council Chairman's post. Against this backdrop, the JD(U) had reportedly been seeking the Council Chairman's position as part of the broader distribution of key posts between the two NDA allies. Reports indicate that the BJP and JD(U) leadership have reached an understanding on the issue. According to reports, the BJP leadership asked Awadhesh Narayan Singh to step down as Chairman, following which he tendered his resignation. The formal process for selecting a new Chairman is expected to follow. In the interim, Ramvachan Rai is likely to take charge as Acting Chairman, as he is the incumbent Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Council. Rai was elected unopposed as Deputy Chairman in July 2024 and has been associated with the Council for several years. The possible change is being viewed as part of a broader effort to rebalance the distribution of important constitutional posts between the BJP and JD(U). With the BJP holding the Chief Minister and Assembly Speaker positions, the Council Chairman's post could provide the JD(U) with a key constitutional position within the NDA arrangement. The development has also renewed discussion over the internal power equation between the two principal NDA allies in Bihar. While the reported understanding between the BJP and JD(U) could pave the way for a change in the Council's leadership, the formal appointment of a new Chairman is yet to be completed.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 21 (IANS) Actors Tamannaah Bhatia and Sidharth Malhotra recently visited the sets of the popular reality show 'Bigg Boss 20' to promote their forthcoming mytho-fantasy-thriller 'The Vvaan: Force Of The Forrest'. In an adorable moment that has been doing the rounds on social media, host Salman was seen praising Tamannaah for her incredible voice. As Tamannaah spoke, Salman turned to Sidharth and said, What a superb voice she's got yaar. Hearing the compliment, the 'Baahubali' actress started to blush and thanked Salman for the kind words. Sidharth further commented that Tamannaah has 'Adaah' in her voice. Talking about The Vvaan, the makers recently unveiled the trailer of the much-anticipated drama. Rooted in folklore and fantasy, the film revolves around a forbidden forest and its ominous secrets. With Tamannaah and Sidharth as the leads, the project will also see Shweta Tiwari, Sunil Grover, Anup Soni, and Maniesh Paul in ancillary roles, along with others. Meanwhile, the makers also recently released the 'Chhathi Maiya' song from 'The Vvaan'. Talking about the devotional number, Tamannaah shared that she made it a point to study and understand the significance of Chhath in order to do justice to the devotional track. The 'F3' actress added that she feels deeply connected with Chhathi Maiyya. She said, I have always held a deep reverence for Chhath Puja. Before we started shooting for the song, I spent time studying and understanding the significance of the ritual and how it is performed in Bihar and Patna. Honestly, I was stunned to learn the power it holds. The strong connection I felt with Chhathi Maiyya is something I cannot put in words. I found myself feeling deeply connected to her. Directed by Deepak Mishra, the story of 'Vvaan' has been written by Arunabh Kumar. Backed by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar and Niraj Kothari, 'The Vvaan' is likely to be out in the cinema halls on September 25.

AIMIM ends up backing BJP: MP Imran Masood hits out at Owaisi

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 21 (IANS) Hitting back at AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi for his plea on Monday to political peers touting an alliance before the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Congress MP Imran Masood said that even after winning 5-7 seats, AIMIM ends up supporting a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government. Masood remarked that even if Owaisi manages to get 57 MLAs elected, they ultimately support a BJP government. What happened in Bihar? The BJP formed the government, didnt it? he asked. He added that elections cannot be won solely on Muslim votes, nor can Muslims alone ensure victory. According to him, the BJP has broken the myth that elections cannot be won without Muslim votes. If we continue to play on those lines, we will be making the BJP victorious. Muslims are the most oppressed community in Uttar Pradesh; they face the most atrocities and violence, he said. AIMIM chiefs remarks drew flak from other Congress leaders as well. Congress spokesperson Surendra Rajput claimed that AIMIM and BJP were in alliance. Reacting to Owaisis statement, he said, We appeal to the media not to spread confusion. There is no talk of an alliance from our side. Owaisi Sahib only talks about Muslims, while the BJP only talks about Hindus. Their alliance is with each other behind the scenes. Rajput further clarified that there had been neither any discussion nor any talks of an alliance from the Congress side. No alliance can be formed by putting a gun to someones ear, he said. Another Congress leader, Asim Waqr, recalled that when a journalist asked Owaisi a question, he replied, Yes, after 10 years, they have realised that I am a BJP agent. Referring to past incidents, Waqr said, In 1985, his respected father Salahuddin Owaisi became an MP, and after that, he remained with the Congress. Then the Moradabad incident happened, which his people cite when they say the Congress is oppressive. Then the Bhagalpur incident occurred, which they also cite when saying the Congress is cruel to Muslims. Then the Babri Masjid issue happened after that, Salahuddin Owaisi had to confess to the Quran. He claimed that AIMIM continued to blame Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP), calling both parties enemies of Muslims. They continued to say this for 29 years, and now he is urging with folded hands that we should take them with us, that we should form an alliance, Waqar retorted. If indeed we are enemies of Muslims, then why are you asking to come into an alliance with us? And if at all you want us to join hands, then we are good people, he concluded.

Gujarat to honour top-performing district, taluka officials with 'Atal Good Governance Awards'

Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Sep 21 (IANS) The Gujarat government has introduced an annual award scheme to recognise outstanding performance by officials involved in citizen-facing administration at the district and taluka levels, with Class-1 officers eligible for a cash award of Rs 31,000 and Class-2 officers for Rs 21,000. The Atal Good Governance Award Scheme, introduced through a General Administration Department (GAD) resolution, will be implemented from the 2025-26 financial year and continue in subsequent years. The annual performance assessment will cover April 1 to March 31. The scheme covers officials from seven departments directly connected with public service delivery. They include Chief District Health Officers from the Health and Family Welfare Department; District Education Officers and District Primary Education Officers from the Education Department; Executive Engineers from the Roads and Buildings Department; District Supply Officers from the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department; District Sports Officers from the Sports, Youth and Cultural Activities Department; Taluka Development Officers from the Panchayats, Rural Housing and Rural Development Department; and Mamlatdars from the Revenue Department. Class-1 officials covered under the scheme will receive Rs 31,000, while Class-2 officials will receive Rs 21,000. Selected officials will also receive a Certificate of Excellence - Atal Good Governance Award recognising their contribution to public service and citizen-centric administration. Selection will be based on prescribed performance criteria and evaluation parameters, not routine performance alone. Separate departmental committees will assess officials covered under the first five categories. The Secretary of the respective department will head these committees and include the concerned Head of Department and an Additional Secretary, Joint Secretary or Deputy Secretary from the relevant establishment. For Taluka Development Officers and Mamlatdars, district-level committees headed by the District Collector will also assess performance. The committees will include the District Development Officer, District Superintendent of Police and Resident Deputy Collector. Separate departmental-level arrangements have also been prescribed to assess TDOs and Mamlatdars. The Additional Chief Secretary, Principal Secretary or Secretary of the Panchayat Department will head the committee for Panchayat-related performance. In contrast, the corresponding senior official of the Revenue Department will head the committee for Mamlatdars. After evaluation, officials will be ranked from first to third according to the prescribed performance parameters, and outstanding performers will be selected for the awards. The departments have been directed to complete the evaluation process by November 30 every year and send the names of selected officials, along with their award certificates and cheques, to the Vasutapar-2 branch of the General Administration Department by December 10. The awards will be presented during the Good Governance Day programme on December 25, the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The scheme forms part of the state's initiatives undertaken during the year-long celebrations marking Vajpayee's 100th birth anniversary, which began on December 25, 2024. The respective departments will meet the expenditure for the awards from the budget provision under 0500 - Awards. The government has also advised awardees to use the prize money before the cheque's validity expires. The scheme establishes an annual process to identify and formally recognise officials working directly with citizens across health, education, infrastructure, food and civil supplies, sports, rural development and revenue administration.

Bihar: NCW takes suo motu cognisance of Jamui molestation case

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 21 (IANS) The National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken suo motu cognisance of the alleged harassment, molestation and assault of two minor students in Bihars Jamui district after videos purportedly showing the incident surfaced on social media. According to officials, the incident occurred on September 19 when a minor boy and girl travelling on a scooter were allegedly stopped and surrounded by a group of people in the Jamui area. The girl was reportedly subjected to inappropriate physical contact, while the boy was assaulted. The incident was recorded on video and later circulated on social media. NCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar has written to the Bihar Director General of Police (DGP), directing that an FIR be registered and that all those involved be identified and arrested based on the available video evidence. The Commission has also called for a time-bound, impartial investigation, directing authorities to ensure the victims' safety and provide them with legal assistance and psychological counselling. The NCW further urged that legal measures be taken to prevent further circulation of the objectionable video on social media. It has sought a detailed Action Taken Report (ATR) from Bihar authorities within seven days. After the videos circulated, Jamui Police initiated an investigation and contacted the two minor victims.

Tejashwi Yadav targets Bihar govt over Jamui student harassment case

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 21 (IANS) Political tensions have intensified in Bihar following the alleged harassment of two minor students in Jamui, after a video of the incident surfaced on social media. Opposition leaders have criticised the state government, raising questions about law and order and the safety of women and students. Following Congress leader LoP Rahul Gandhi, RJD National Working President Tejashwi Yadav also targeted the Bihar government. Sharing the video on X, Tejashwi alleged that the incident reflected a deterioration in law and order in the state. He wrote that anarchy had emerged in Bihar and claimed women and female students were no longer safe. He accused criminals of committing offences openly and blamed the NDA government for failing to ensure the safety of women, students, poor people and Dalits. Targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Tejashwi referred to election promises concerning financial assistance to women and alleged that the Prime Minister had remained silent over such incidents. He also criticised Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, alleging that the state government had spent heavily from the exchequer during the Assembly elections but failed to address law-and-order concerns. In a broader attack, Tejashwi alleged that senior BJP leaders had handed over Bihars administration to inexperienced leaders after the NDAs electoral victory. He held PM Modi politically responsible and criticised the BJP and its allies over the incident. The Jamui incident reportedly took place on September 19, when a minor boy and girl returning from coaching were allegedly stopped by a group of youths. The incident was recorded and circulated on social media, prompting police action. Jamui Police contacted the two minors, recorded their statements and registered an FIR. Police have arrested three people so far, while investigations into the roles of other suspects continue. The case has also drawn the attention of the Bihar State Womens Commission, which has sought details and called for strict action against those found responsible.

Bihar Panchayat polls only after delimitation exercise: CM Samrat Choudhary

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 21 (IANS)Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Monday said the Panchayat Raj elections will be conducted only after the ongoing delimitation exercise is completed, which is expected to reshape local administrative and electoral boundaries across Bihar. Addressing the Gram Sansad Bihar Chapter programme in Patna, Choudhary said the process of redrawing Panchayat boundaries is currently underway, and no election-related process will begin until it is completed. He said the exercise is being carried out with a population benchmark of 7,500, and Panchayat boundaries will be reorganised accordingly. The announcement assumes significance for aspirants preparing to contest elections for posts such as Mukhiya, Sarpanch, Panchayat Samiti member and Zila Parishad member, as changes in boundaries and population distribution are likely to alter the electoral landscape. The Chief Minister pointed out that several Panchayats in Bihar cover large geographical areas and have substantial populations, making administrative reorganisation necessary. Citing his own village as an example, Choudhary said it has a population of around 20,000 but is currently grouped with three other villages to form a single Panchayat. He said a request for delimitation had been made to the State Election Commission and that the process had now commenced. The delimitation exercise could lead to changes in the composition and boundaries of existing Panchayats. Some villages could be shifted from one Panchayat to another, while new Panchayats could also be created or existing ones reorganised. Such changes could affect the electoral calculations for Mukhiya, Sarpanch, Panchayat Samiti and Zila Parishad elections. For prospective candidates, the final administrative boundaries will therefore be important before they formulate detailed election strategies. The precise electoral landscape will become clearer only after the delimitation process is completed. During the programme, Choudhary also spoke about the importance of elected Panchayat representatives in grassroots governance. He said that although people often consider the Prime Minister, Chief Minister or District Magistrate to be the most powerful figures in the administrative system, the Mukhiya plays a particularly important role at the grassroots level. Choudhary said the Mukhiya carries significant responsibilities and that contesting a Mukhiya election is not easy. He observed that elections become more competitive as they move closer to the grassroots, with local relationships and social dynamics playing an important role in contests for ward members and Mukhiyas. Referring to the nature of grassroots democracy, he said voters often keep their choices private, sometimes even from neighbours or family members. Choudhary also discussed the responsibilities of Panchayat representatives and the availability of government resources. He said that while, as Chief Minister, he would want the Centre to provide all the funds required by Bihar, such a situation was not practically possible. Similarly, he said representatives at the Zila Parishad and Panchayat levels must recognise that government resources are limited. According to him, people assign responsibilities to elected representatives and ultimately hold the power to choose who represents them. Discussing Bihar's Panchayati Raj structure, Choudhary also claimed that the specific office of Sarpanch, as it exists in Bihar, is unique to the state and is not found in other states.

According to an official, the incident took place in the border area between Jamui and Lakhisarai, near the jurisdiction of Jamui Town police station.

Six children drown while bathing for Karma-Dharma festival in Bihar's Bhagalpur

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 21 (IANS)Six children drowned in a tragic incident in Bihar's Bhagalpur district on Monday morning while bathing in a waterlogged agricultural field ahead of the Karma-Dharma festival, officials said. The incident occurred around 10 a.m. on Monday in the Narayanpur Bahiyar area under the Ajgaivinath Dham block of Sultanganj police station limits. According to police, the children had gone to the area for a ritual bath and preparations related to the Karma-Dharma festival when the tragedy unfolded. The victims were identified as Puja Kumari (13), daughter of Puran Mandal; Rahul Kumar (14); Vikas Kumar (13), son of Ranjan Kumar; Ayush Kumar (12), son of Vinod Mandal; Meenakshi Kumari, also known as Minki (12), daughter of Valmiki Mandal; and Jyoti Kumari (14), daughter of Dhananjay Mandal. Five of the children belonged to Bishnu Tola in Ward 27 of the Nagar Parishad area, while Jyoti was a resident of Ranchdidipur village. Local residents said the fields had accumulated deep water due to recent rainfall and a rise in the Ganga river's water level. According to eyewitness accounts, one child slipped into a deeper section of the waterbody. The others reportedly attempted a rescue but were unable to assess the depth of the water and the marshy terrain beneath, leading to all six drowning. As news of the incident spread, family members and villagers rushed to the spot. Local youths entered the water and retrieved the children before they were taken to the Community Health Centre. Doctors, however, declared all six dead on arrival. The incident has plunged the affected families and the entire locality into grief. Police and administrative officials reached the site soon after being informed. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination, and further legal formalities are underway.

Japan's Abhishek Anand Wants Special All-Bihar Meeting With Sooryavanshi, Ishan In One-off T20I

Sano International Cricket Ground: Bihar-born Japanese cricketer Abhishek Anand wants a special meeting with fellow Biharis Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Ishan Kishan as Japan host India for a one-off T20I at the Sano International Cricket Ground here on Tuesday. Abhishek, who had to switch borders from India to Japan for the love of the sport, highlighted that Sooryavanshi is currently his favourite player and that he wants to meet him and Ishan if there is a chance. Although he has not been selected in the squad for the Asiad and the India game, he would still be around with the team. Currently, everyone's favourite is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. But yeah, all the players in the Indian team are equally good, he told IANS, before expressing, of course, (I want to meet) my Bihari brothers, Ishan Kishan and Sooryavanshi. A special message for the 15-year-old rising sensation? Abhishek says he is very eager to see the Indian team and Sooryavanshi in Sano, and then in Nisshin, for the Asiad. We are eagerly waiting to host the Indian team. We are eagerly waiting for this match. And (I hope) the India-Japan bond should stay strong so that we can do well in the future, Abhishek said. His love for cricket brought him from India to Japan; while studying in college, he received a placement offer from Accenture Japan. So, the journey in Japan is quite unbelievable. I never thought that I would play in the Japan team, Abhishek further said. We were getting placements in our college. Japanese companies came to our college. We never thought that we would go for an abroad placement. I just applied and tried to get in touch about an interview to see what the interview abroad was like. So, I sat for the interview with Accenture Japan. And then I got selected for Accenture Japan. After that, I was given 2 hours to decide whether to accept this offer. So, I was thinking that I didn't have any plans to go abroad. I wanted to stay in India and continue my passion for cricket as well as my job. So, during those 2 hours, I thought a lot about what to do, whether I should go to Japan or not. We were getting placements in our college. Japanese companies came to our college. We never thought that we would go for an abroad placement. I just applied and tried to get in touch about an interview to see what the interview abroad was like.

Bihar-Born IITian Abhishek Anands Incredible Cricket Journey from India to Japan

Love for cricket and hope for the sport's future in Japan took a Bihar-born IITian, Abhishek Anand, to the Land of the Rising Sun. He was studying at college when a placement call from Accenture Japan came through. He was given a couple of hours to think it through and decide whether to accept the offer and come to Japan or to stay in India. He indeed wanted to stay in India and was working on his cricket career, having made what he describes as a very good environment for cricket in college. However, Abhishek did some cricket research in Japan, hoped the sport would have a future in the neighbouring nation, and decided to go to Japan. He says that all he wants is to play cricket. So, the journey in Japan is quite unbelievable. I never thought that I would play in the Japan team, Abhishek, who has played 18 T20Is for Japan, told IANS. We were getting placements in our college. So, Japan companies came to our college. We never thought that we would go for an abroad placement. So, I just applied and tried to get in touch about an interview to see what the interview abroad was like. So, I sat for the interview with Accenture Japan. And then I got selected for Accenture Japan. After that, I was given 2 hours to decide whether to accept this offer. So, I was thinking that I didn't have any plans to go abroad. I wanted to stay in India and continue my passion for cricket as well as my job. So, during those 2 hours, I thought a lot about what to do, whether I should go to Japan or not. Then, I thought of searching for some cricket facts in Japan. So, fortunately, that year the Japanese team qualified for the East Asia-Pacific World Cup qualifier. I felt that there was hope for cricket in Japan as well. So, after seeing all this news, I thought about going to Japan to explore the opportunity there. After 2 hours of research, I accepted the offer and came to Japan, he added. However, upon arriving in Japan, he began searching for clubs and performed so well that he earned a call-up to the national team. As soon as I came to Japan, I started reaching out to clubs. Then, I came here and joined Tokyo Falcon Cricket Club. Then, I started playing for the Tokyo Falcon Cricket Club, and my journey in Japan started from there. Then, I continued to play well for 3 consecutive years. JCA (Japan Cricket Association) had an eye on me and how I was performing year by year. So, they reached out to me in the 3rd year and told me that my performance was good. So, they told me, 'We want you to be part of our national team. So, keep practising hard and doing your best.' So, I continued to play well. Then, in 2025, I was selected for the national team, he highlighted. Abhishek has lived in Patna since childhood, but he is originally from Rohtas. He highlighted that his family wanted him to have a backup job. The first priority for them is that I have a backup job, and that's what I am doing as well. And (for them) secondary is cricket. But for me, it's the opposite - Primary is cricket, and secondary is job. But anyway, if I am able to manage both jobs and cricket, they are happy with that. So, no issue, he said. Abhishek is not in the squad for the historic one-off T20I against India, which will be played on Tuesday here at the Sano International Cricket Ground and will mark 75 years of diplomatic relations between the two nations; however, he says he would be around the team and would be cheering for both teams. See, I am excited about that match. Still, I am not in the squad, but I will be around the team, supporting the team. If I am from India, I will support India and Japan. Basically, it should be a good match between Japan and India. I will be supporting the game of cricket, he said.

The other side of the fertility curve

For many women and teenage girls, menstruation is not simply a set of dates circled on a calendar, the way birthdays and anniversaries are. It carries its own weight in the form of fatigue, cramps, headaches, body aches and for many, a genuine inability to function normally. Yet the expectation of normalcy persists regardless. Classes must be attended, meals must be cooked, workplace obligations must be met, and domestic duties remain, as ever, the icing on the cake. Rest, in this equation, is treated as a luxury rather than a basic physiological need. And this is precisely the dimension most often missing from conversations about Jammu & Kashmirs declining fertility rate. The Total Fertility Rate of the Union Territory has slipped to 1.4 children per woman. This is well below the replacement threshold of 2.1 required merely to keep the population stable. The reasons cited are familiar: rising unemployment, economic uncertainty, delayed marriages, wider access to contraception and the escalating cost of raising a child. Each of these is undeniably significant. But is there a cost we are failing to reckon with one that goes unspoken precisely because it is inscribed on womens bodies? The physical toll of childbirth itself. Menstrual health is usually discussed only through the narrow lens of hygiene like sanitary pads, cleanliness, discretion, yet it is, in fact, the very bedrock of a womans fertility. Dysmenorrhea, for instance, is a condition marked by such painful menstruation that it disrupts a womans ability to carry out everyday activities. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and endometriosis are two further conditions capable of compromising both menstrual health and reproductive capacity. Menstrual health, then, is not a peripheral concern but a foundational one. It is recognised by global health bodies as inseparable from a womans complete physical, mental, and social well-being. To be clear, the absence of rest during menstruation does not, by itself, cause infertility. This claim would be a reductive one. What matters instead is the cumulative consequence of routinely dismissing womens exhaustion and discomfort. A woman is expected to study, work, run a household, and care for others, all while contending with a physiological ordeal that recurs every single month, without pause or acknowledgment. And this is merely the menstrual dimension whereas pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and child-rearing layer additional, often invisible, demands on top of it. When we speak of the cost of childbearing, the conversation almost always defaults to the financial: education, healthcare, shelter, food. Rarely do we speak of the cost extracted from the woman herself from her body, her time, her emotional reserves. It follows, then, that if policymakers are genuinely concerned about declining fertility rates, the solution cannot simply be to persuade women to have more children. The real question is whether women are afforded the conditions necessary to survive, work, and raise a family without sacrificing their own health in the process. In Jammu & Kashmir, as elsewhere in South Asia, menstruation remains a taboo subject. It is something rarely discussed openly even within families. This silence has a direct consequence: young girls grow up with limited understanding of menstrual hygiene and its bearing on long-term fertility. Generational shifts have compounded the effect, with women today prioritising education and financial independence over the large families that were once the norm for their mothers and grandmothers. The decline in fertility, then, is as much a social transformation as a biological one. Countries confronting similar demographic pressures have responded in markedly different ways. Japan and South Korea have had menstrual leave enshrined in law for decades. In Japan it has been there since 1947 and in South Korea since 1953. Though uptake remains low in practice, hampered by workplace stigma and the fear of professional penalty. Spain went further still in 2022, becoming the first country in Europe to legislate paid menstrual leave outright. The underlying message from these governments is unambiguous: menstruation is a legitimate health concern, not a private inconvenience to be endured in silence. India, and Jammu & Kashmir in particular, has yet to move meaningfully in this direction. The medical realities underlying this issue are far from trivial. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) disrupts hormonal balance, producing irregular cycles and, in many cases, infertility. Endometriosis inflicts severe pain and can permanently damage reproductive organs. Dysmenorrhea, though widespread and often dismissed as routine, can be genuinely debilitating. The toll extends beyond the physical: chronic pain and fatigue frequently give rise to stress, anxiety, and depression. A woman navigating these conditions without adequate medical or emotional support is, understandably, left with diminished desire and diminished capacity to embrace motherhood. Maternity leave benefits do exist in India, codified and, at least on paper, reasonably generous. Menstrual leave, by contrast, remains rare and where it exists at all, it is shrouded in shame, requiring women to justify their pain before being granted the smallest reprieve. Addressing fertility decline meaningfully will require a different kind of policy architecture altogether: awareness campaigns in schools and universities that teach young women about menstrual health from an early age; workplace reforms including flexible hours, remote-work options, and formally sanctioned menstrual leave. These are not special privileges. They are the basic conditions under which women can participate in public life on equal footing with men. Investing in womens health is not merely a matter of fairness. It is a matter of economic sense. When women are forced to choose between their health and their productivity, workforce participation inevitably suffers. When workplaces instead accommodate reproductive health as a matter of course, women are freed to contribute more fully, and more sustainably, to economic life. The principle, stripped to its essentials, is simple: a woman who is genuinely unwell should never have to prove the extent of her suffering merely to earn a days rest. If J&Ks legislature is serious about confronting demographic decline, the evidence points toward a specific agenda and not slogans urging women to have more children, but structural reforms addressing why so many womens bodies are already under strain. This begins with a menstrual health curriculum mandated in schools, expanding existing health programmes to include non-stigmatising menstrual and reproductive health education from the high-school level onward. It extends to menstrual leave for government employees, introduced as a pilot, with Bihars three-decade-old policy and Karnatakas newer public-and-private model as templates. J&Ks public sector could adopt this as a visible, low-risk first step. It requires PCOS and endometriosis screening integrated into primary healthcare, particularly in rural districts, so that treatable conditions are caught before infertility sets in, alongside workplace flexibility recognised as a formal right rather than left to informal employer goodwill. And it demands district-disaggregated data collection: NFHS-5 already shows wide variation across J&K, from Ganderbals 1.1 to Kishtwars 2.0, suggesting that a one-size-fits-all response will miss the mark. None of this requires reinventing policy from scratch. It requires J&Ks lawmakers to treat womens reproductive and menstrual health not as a private matter to be managed quietly, but as a public health and economic priority worthy of the assemblys attention. The falling fertility rate in Jammu & Kashmir, then, is not merely a statistic to be graphed and debated. It reflects evolving aspirations, shifting economic and social structures but, just as significantly, it reflects the conditions in which women are expected to live and labour. Perhaps, then, the question we ought to be asking is not why women are having fewer children, but something more fundamental: are we building a society in which women can inhabit their professional lives, their families, and motherhood itself without being asked to disregard their own bodies to do so?
